Just a comment on mga cards.  (I have an old one, so I'm not even thinking
about 3D.  

Ubuntu, the supposed best for newcomers, etc, yada yada broke Matrox
support in Edgy and haven't fixed it, despite a fix being offered on
their bug reports--a working fix.  

On the other hand, FreeBSD's xorg-7.x works perfectly with my Matrox.
So take that Ubuntu.  :)

reasons, but that's completely off-topic.   My purpose here is merely to
point out that there are times when we're ahead of Linux.)

May I also take this opportunity to add my most sincere thanks to the
xorg team for all their hard work and time.  (and say, yeah, me too--I
want it in the ports tree, hurry hurry, are we there yet?)
